Keep America Beautiful

In fall 2016, Kennesaw State University was selected to receive 30 no-cost recycling
bins for the Marietta campus through the 2016 Coca-Cola/Keep America Beautiful Public
Space Recycling Bin Grant Program. Starting in February 2017, these bins will be located
outside throughout the core of campus, including near residence halls. The bins will
be paired with matching trash bins, a best practice which can lead to improved recycling
outcomes. The outdoor bins are designed to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

As part of the grant, KSU’s Office of Campus Planning and Sustainability will be tracking
the total weight of recyclables collected at these outdoor bins. This data will be
provided in progress reports to Keep America Beautiful in mid-May 2017 and February
2018; the data will also be shared below.
